Are you a grandparent raising your grandchildren? The Family Resource Center has a support group for grandparents raising their grandchildren. Meet with other grandparents who have the same concerns, needs, and experiences that you have. It is a great place to meet and learn from other grandparents in similar situations.
Join us as we grow the program that seeks to provide access to local and state resources. It gives you a chance to talk with others and explore solutions.
We will meet on the third Tuesday of the month from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Lunch is provided and is free of charge.
